*** Small-sized 2-pass re-encode of 720p for computers (PC, Mac), PS3 or Xbox, portable and mobile devices (Ipod, Itouch) . ***
*** Video is 640x360 H264; audio is 44.1 kHz/stereo AAC LC and container is MP4. ***
I can recommend CoreCodec for H264 (avc1, x264) video-playback, free DivX 7 for AAC sound-playback (and .mkv with AAC), Haali splitter (free, comes with CoreCodec) as the fastest and best combination for Windows Media Player. This is what I use.
VLC player (free), mplayer (free) and KMplayer (free) are available as alternative for all platforms (operating systems) out there and have BUILT-IN codecs and MP4 capabilities. But, video quality is approx. 10-15% lower, blurrier at least on system I have.
One can try CCCP matroska codec pack, where ffdshow codec/filter packs and Haali splitter comes in one package and support MP4 playback - but extra caution is required during the install process.
QuickTime of course, supports H264/AAC natively.
PS3 + HDMI cable + newer TV have been reported as best combination.
And please, do not watch it with a nose in the screen, take proper distance to the monitor or TV (as advised in TV manuals).Many of movies I encode have embedded subtitles. So far, only VLC player is able to use them correctly.
USE TORRENT-SEARCH SITES, TorrentBar extension for FireFox OR EVEN GOOGLE: show-name H264
(for example GOSSIP GIRL H264).

Your comments and opinions are welcomed, good and the bad ones.
p.H, Dexter as MP4 H264; ~3.48 MB/minute, re-seed of last week's episodes
Double-episodes or Pilot ep. will be issued only as MP4 or 360p.
MP4 is ISO 14496-1(H264 video & AAC LC sound) and playable on PCs, Macs and hopefully (read Comment before download; I check every file for iTunes compliance) on iPod-like portable-mobile devices.
360p is fully compatible with newer iPod, iTouch and Nokia U97.
Requests should be posted in Comments section of newest torrents.
"Out of schedule" shows or pilot-episodes may get uploaded randomly, if situation arise (free slots).

thanks twenty, for the sked release. i have a big request- season 1 of "hustle" if you have it (if i am not mistaken, it's a uk series and it seems interesting). whether you up or not, thanks for reading this ;)

@sassymoon: Yes. But, do you know that currently running is Season 6? Just sayin'...
I have Season 1 UNCUT.DVDrip (6 episodes) - but the times of S1 UK groups haven't released 720p yet -so, expect little lower quality.
Further, if all this is OK to you, please let me know exact time when you would be ready for download. Be aware that mad-house starts on Monday and the requests may go just on weekends + Mondays. However, it cannot be immediately or tomorrow because TPB upload is broken (again) for last 24h and I am seriously delayed by that.

My friends, I am semi-desperate, my queue (waiting-list) is 100% encoded and ready-to-go. Just take a look what is re-encoded and you'll see how crippled I am, not only by TPB-down-time, but with my limited upload capabilities (I am not so fast I wish to)...

So, here is the list with DONE (finished/re-encoded) things, in no particular order (mainly as when they have been encoded, from newest to "oldest"):

OK sassy, files (6 episodes) are 1.16 GB ("originals" were 4.24 GB). Re-encoding has been finished 2h ago. But we need 8-9 hours to bring them up. Here is what you should do:
1. Tell me EXACT time - for instance 9:25 AM Monday (NZDT) - Time in Wellington, New Zealand. Here is now 9.25 PM and you can get the picture. I propose YOUR afternoon (12 AM - 8 PM NZ time) because its night-time by me and - quiet.
2. STOP during that download any other torrents.
3. Put download AND upload speed on "Unlimited". I know it may hurt your Internet-allowance but I'll not be able to help if seeding script automatically kick you out because of to low ul/dl ratio in that swarm. I'll be sleeping. right?
So... tell me - not now - but in the next few days.

OK Hi 2040
Is the TPB is down?
Here in OZ where I live I love your torrents as you know.
SO we lost you on mini nova are we having probs with TPB now.
I can see I'm about to have a steep learning curve
in the accessing of share ware
All the good shows are about to start it's 6.40 am Mon 11th.(how appropriate lol)
Will you be able to get BH and other shows?is this just a glitch? or a serious shut TPB down bid?

@valu59er: Basically (as far I can see) TPB works for normal users, according to their saying this morning, site WAS broken, and now they should fix the upload. Funny tough, I can see that some torrents (very few) have been uploaded during this down-time, but now only thing I can is to cross my fingers and wait. I am already in some sort of troubles concerning requests, and I hate to be put in position of "broken promises".
"How serious" it is, I have no clue, I have seen only one-liner about down-time and fixing like any other TPB visitor.
Well... again, as last week, waiting for Godot...

OK thanks sounds like a waiting game
tried to get on tpb to dl being human and couldn't access couldn't access if you arn't dling a show I want I go to eztv.. noone home there either...
Sad and tragic..no tv access where I live in OZy bush..Well not too tragic.. creeks to swim in grow great food..but love my few shows

This isn't fair to you or to us.It seems that the pink skull comes with limitations.Though,you are "pretty in pink",I guess green is the goal.Maybe you should take the v.i.p.'s out to tea.Have a great day 20/40 and we miss you.

Thanks for support. Meanwhile, I was "forced" to release first two Chucks and The Road...

Currently I am playin' with black/blue&white TS of Daybreakers, but it is so bad that I guess nothing will come out of it (pretty much as all f-ud up CAMs and TS lately.
Numbers (req), Legend of the Seeker, Silent Wittnes and Desp. Hw. sources have been downloaded and re-encoded back in early morning, couple of hours after airing, in hope that TPB allows upload to at least trusted uploaders without broken Captcha server/script.

It hasn't happened so far, and maybe never will, but, I am with you in deprivation, and all my work last night is for nothing - tomorrow starts new day and people will forget what was on Sunday...

Btw lilars, for green one must be long time trusted uploader, it is great privilege here, but I unfortunately, have not enough time left on disposal.
